Joshua Henkin wrote Morningside Heights, a novel about a family living in Morningside Heights, a neighborhood in New York. Spence and Pru meet at Columbia where he is a popular and brilliant professor in the English Department. He specializes in Shakespeare and has published several books. Pru is a graduate student. They fall in love and marry. Spense is always focused on words and communication and that makes it difficult when he begins to suffer from early onset Alzheimer's disease. This book is a story about their marriage and their children. I thought the chapters about Alzheimer's were especially well written.
